During the Spring Festival of 1978, the Zhou family, except Zhou Bingkun, was at home, and the eldest brother and father also did not go home this year.

It is difficult to buy New Year tickets, and it is troublesome to go back and forth. Chen Can also received a letter from his eldest brother and second sister, saying that he will go home during the summer vacation next year.

My father Zhou Zhigang also wrote that he was busy over there and could not come back.

Zhou Zhigang was a little short-tempered in the letter. Chen Can guessed that it was Zheng Juan's matter and the reason why he didn't discuss it with him.

Regarding Zheng Juan, Chen Can had long known that he would not be able to pass Zhou's father's test, so he started from his mother's side.

Now that the dust has settled, Father Zhou's objections are useless.

Zheng Juan's belly is already round and round. She is more than seven months old, and she estimates that she will give birth in two months.

Chen Can thought about waiting for his father to come back and see his own grandson, and his anger would disappear instantly.

This person's heart is always fleshy. Chen Can knew that Zhou Zhigang's temper was really stubborn, but he was not an unreasonable person.

Moreover, Zhou's father's love for his children would never be expressed in words, but would only be proven with practical actions.

This day is quite promising. There are three children and an old lady at home now. After the Chinese New Year, there will be another child. They are living in harmony, which is good.

Although Zheng Juan is pregnant, she still manages the family in an orderly manner. Her children are healthy and lively, and her mother smiles every day and has no physical problems.

This is what a home should be like!

Chen Can sometimes suddenly thinks of Chen Dabo and his wife, and then compares them with Zhou Zhigang and his wife.

They are the same parents, but because of different education methods, the children they educate have completely different lives.

Chen Can also sighed helplessly. Life is unpredictable, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine. I hope all children in the world can have a healthy and happy childhood!

This Spring Festival this year, the Zhou family is still different from usual.

Since the first day of the new year, there has been an endless stream of people paying New Year greetings, including former colleagues, childhood friends, and neighbors. In short, Chen Can was at home for three days and had no time to go out. He received a lot of gifts of all sizes from home.

.

These people have different purposes. Some come to ask for help, some come to express gratitude, and some simply come to get closer.

Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains. Although Chen Can is not very rich now, he is now the section chief of Wireless Factory No. 2, which is in full swing. For such a person, it will definitely not hurt to keep in touch and move around.

Chen Can is not the kind of selfless character. These people are actually ordinary people struggling on the edge of poverty. Although he is also a small person, if you can help those within your ability, please help!

On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Can still organized a dinner party at home. This is the day when the six young gentlemen get together every year.

This year, among the six people, Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan were missing. In addition to two missing people, Chen Can always felt that everyone was a little absent-minded at this year's gathering of the Six Little Gentlemen.

Especially Cao Debao and his wife, their attitude was completely wrong today.

Qiao Chunyan was originally the kind of person who loved to talk, but at this year's party, she rarely spoke. She sat there eating melon seeds and was out of tune with the people around her.

Cao Debao also evaded his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, which made Chen Can a little annoyed.

In fact, Chen Can has already guessed the general reason!

In the final analysis, this matter is still about money.

Chen Can's extra income is more than a thousand yuan per month. If the three of them are given, each of them will receive a minimum salary of fifty yuan.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun were satisfied to catch up. After all, they were just running errands and getting this salary, and they were satisfied.

But Cao Debao was not satisfied. After learning maintenance techniques from Chen Can for two months last year, he could only deal with some simple radios at first.

Practice makes perfect now. He has basically figured out how to use some small household appliances, such as electric fans and televisions. Although he is not technically advanced, overall he can make a living at it.

Moreover, in the past two months, Cao Debao has taken on a lot of private work outside Chen Can's back. For extra money, he earned fifty yuan more than Chen Can every month.

In addition, a few months ago, Qiao Chunyan asked Chen Can for a job quota, but because it failed, now Qiao Chunyan also has some opinions on Chen Can.

After this back and forth, the couple's strange attitude today is understandable.

The human heart is like this, it can never be satisfied.

Chen Can had already guessed what Cao Debao wanted to say. He simply wanted to go out and work alone.

Everyone had a dull meal, without the usual laughter. Chen Can also felt unhappy and ended the meal hastily.

When several people left, Chen Can shouted to Cao Debao.

"De Bao, now you are technically able to stand alone. After the New Year, you can go out and work alone!"

Cao Debao was a little surprised, but the joy on his face flashed away, and then he looked a little embarrassed. He wanted to defend himself, but before he could speak, Qiao Chunyan smiled and spoke.

"The relationship is good, brother. In fact, I have wanted to tell you about this for a long time. It is not a problem for Debao to stay here every day now. There are old and young in the family, and he has to take care of them!"

Chen Can didn't bother to look at the couple's faces and waved his hands to show that he understood.

After Cao Debao and his wife left, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao were left looking at each other. For a while, they didn't know how to speak.

Chen Can let out a long sigh of relief, what's wrong with this!

Cao Debao and his wife, these two people are inherently calculating, so it would be better to leave early than to leave late, so that they can feel comfortable.

When Chen Can saw that the two of them were interested in him, he immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"After the Chinese New Year, I plan to stop this electrical appliance repair business for a while. If you want to work at the Second Wireless Factory, I will find a way to get two job openings for you two!"

Chen Can's words shocked the two of them.

Chen Can waved his hand to interrupt their questions and then said.

"After the Chinese New Year, there may be changes at Wireless Factory No. 2. I don't know if I, the technical section chief, will still be able to sit still. Many people know that I am engaged in electrical repairs. I am worried about being caught.

, so let’s stop for a while!”

Chen Can's explanation made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. However, they were also a little hesitant about Chen Can's proposal, wondering whether they should go to work at Wireless Factory No. 2.

In fact, going to work at Wireless Factory No. 2 is not a good job. At least it is much better than working at the soy sauce factory and lumber factory.

What Chen Can said was half true and half false. He was really worried about being caught by someone at this critical moment.

He didn't care about the section chief position, but now that Zheng Juan was about to give birth, he didn't want to cause any complications.

Sometimes, once a small thing is caught by someone who is interested, it will be troublesome to put it on the line.

There was another thing that Chen Can didn't tell them. Chen Can planned to find time to go to the south after Zheng Juan gave birth.

After finally arriving in this era, I have to experience the real reform and opening up.

He wanted to visit that small fishing village. This was also a rare opportunity.

In addition to going to the south to experience things, Chen Can also wanted to see if he could find some opportunities in the south.

He now carries a sword, but has no use for it, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Originally, he wanted to continue for another two years, but if the second wireless factory really merged, Chen Can believed that he would never be as free as he is now.

Maybe by then everything will be controlled by others, so what’s the point of just surviving?

Of course, this is also Chen Can's temporary plan.

He is really ready to stop this electrical appliance repair business for the time being. If everything goes well at the second wireless factory, he will continue to do it and continue to work on it for another year and a half.

Maybe it would be good to go to the south to see the world. After traveling to this world, maybe due to Zhou Bingkun's thoughts, Chen Can always felt that he was too cautious.

But sometimes, plans never keep up with changes.

The original plan to provide quotas for Xiao Guoqing and the others also fell through.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Can went to work on his bicycle.

As soon as he arrived at the factory, he saw a large notice posted in front of the factory door.

The content of this notice was expected by Chen Can, but some contents were beyond his expectation.

The expected news is that the second wireless factory has indeed merged.

This merger not only merged Wireless Factory 1 and Wireless Factory 3, but also merged a Red Star Transistor Factory, and the four factories were merged into one factory.

After the merger, the name of the four factories became Jichun Wireless General Factory.

The main factory is located in the former Wireless Factory No. 1, and the former Wireless Factory No. 2 has officially become the Second Branch Factory, and the other three branches are the Third Branch Factory and the Fourth Branch Factory.

Wireless Factory No. 2 also changed from a state-owned department-level unit to a branch factory under a department-level unit.

Workers in the second branch factory will remain on the same shift and maintain the status quo. Leadership positions will be adjusted.

There is no explanation of the adjustment, and obviously the decision needs to be made at a meeting.

But it is also written above that the division of labor among the four factories will be adjusted.

Among them, the original super antenna business of Wireless Factory No. 2 remains current and maintains normal production.

In the portable radio business, most of the production capacity was transferred to the main factory, and the second factory only performed supplementary production tasks.

The other three and four factories specialize in the production of electronic components and other businesses, and cooperate with the first and second factories to complete production!

Chen Can looked at the announcement for a long time and sighed slightly!

This merger announcement made him feel a little empty. What was supposed to come finally came.

But he also knows that this merger is actually a good development opportunity for the current wireless industry in Jichun City.

By pooling the resources of several factories and making good use of these resources, we can accomplish great things.
